Tales from the Terminal Room, July/August 2005 – Issue No. 64

The latest issue of Tales from the Terminal Room is now available. This month we look at whether the Yahoo database really is larger than Google’s, try out Google Desktop 2 and there is a review of the new Alacra Store. I’m afraid that Google gets yet another bashing in “These things are sent to try us”; this time it is over the My Search History.
